Question

A circle has radius 25cm long. A chord of length 14cm is drawn from the center of the circle of the circle. Calculate distance between the chord and the center of the circle

Answer 1

Explanation:

r=25 cm

chord=14 cm

1/2 chord=1/2×14=7 cm

using Pythagoras theorem

d=√(25²-7²)=√(625-49)=√(576)=24 cm
